Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel provides a perfect stay with its large rooms, two bathrooms, and dressing areas, ideal for relaxation after a long journey. However, the rooms could benefit from brighter lighting. The rooftop balcony suites offer a splendid experience for guests.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were definitely quiet, yet small, but still quite spacious with a big bath. The service was exceptional in their customer care and attention to detail. The location was exceptional, close to main tourist attractions, shopping streets, and various dining options. The dining experience was excellent with all tastes catered for.
The hotel offers spacious and well-appointed rooms, but some may find them small. The staff is attentive and provides personalized service, though a lapse in communication about train bookings was encountered. The central location is excellent for exploring the city, with convenient access to nearby attractions and dining options. The dining experience is satisfactory with limited choices. Overall, a good value for the money with notable room amenities and service.
I stayed at a hotel with amazing views of the opera from a terrace, though the steep stairs were a bit challenging. The rooms were small and dark, but the service was top-notch. The location was superb with easy access to cafes and restaurants. The dining experience was excellent with a wide selection of options.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was superb, right across from the Grand Theatre, making it perfect for exploring Bordeaux. The rooftop view was simply stunning. However, the room, although spacious, felt too small for two people, and the lifts were a bit cramped and hot at times.
